There were also hunters who directly sent their prey to restaurants or the homes of large families. They were all very familiar with the owners and would not give them a greedy price.
Xue Dafu and the others didn’t have these connections. Although Xue Sifu was a waiter at a restaurant, he was only a waiter and not the manager. He couldn’t make the decision and it was useless even if he went. He might even offend the manager because he wouldn’t want to sell it at a low price, which would make Xue Sifu lose his job in the restaurant. That was why Xue Dafu and the others had driven the ox cart straight to the market.
Along the way, the black bear on the ox cart became extremely eye-catching.
When the ox cart entered the market, before Xue Dafu and the others could drive the ox cart to the place where they could sell their prey, many of them came over to ask about this blind bear.
Xue Dafu and the others had already alighted from the ox cart when they entered the town. Only Jiang Yue was still sitting on the ox cart.
Jiang Yue wanted to get off the carriage and take a walk since she had been sitting there for so long. It was quite uncomfortable, but Xue Dafu and the others were afraid that she would get lost, so they insisted on placing her on the ox cart.
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Dafu and the others patiently answering the questions of those who were curious about the bear. When she heard Xue Dafu and the others say that the bear would not be sold for less than eighty silver, she looked up at the sky.
As expected, he was an honest person.
Which seller would directly state the lowest price in their heart?
Even though she had not sold the bear yet, she had already experienced why Xue Yan was worried and even asked her to come along.
“Eighty silver?”
The people who asked for the price looked at each other.
The people who came here to collect prey often met each other and had dealt with each other more than once. Many of them were familiar with each other. With one look, everyone immediately decided to lower the price in their heart. After they lowered the price and bought it, they would discuss whether they would split it into pieces or not.
Jiang Yue’s face was expressionless, but she saw through all these people’s little schemes.
“It’s too expensive!” Someone immediately shouted. “Are you made of gold, you blind bear? That’s too expensive!”
“Yes, yes.”
A few people agreed.
It was as if they were condemning them.
Even though Xue Erfu was a farmer and had not seen much of the world, he had always been ostentatious in the village and did not like to hide anything. Seeing everyone’s attitude, he was immediately a little unhappy.
However, Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu were the most honest of the two. Although they had been to the town many times, they had never interacted with the townspeople. Now that things had turned out this way, the two of them were flustered and quickly explained themselves.
Xue Dafu said anxiously, “My youngest son said that this bear has been causing trouble in this town for a long time. This black bear must be sold for at least eighty silver. He won’t let us sell it for anything lower than eighty silver.”
Jiang Yue facepalmed. In an instant, he had turned the whole thing inside out. She was a little impressed by Xue Yan’s foresight.
“Yes, yes.” Seeing that his father had said everything he wanted to say, Xue Yifu, who was clumsy with his words and honest-looking, was at a loss for words, so he could only agree.
What he usually did the most was to smile and go along with his family.
Upon hearing this, a man with a big mole on his face and a strand of hair on his mole shouted, “Who is your youngest son? If he says it’s at least eighty silver, then it’s eighty silver. In my opinion, it’s only worth ten silver at most.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Ten silver. I can’t go any higher.”
The others agreed.
Xue Dafu was very anxious, but he was still patient. “My youngest son is called Xue Yan. He used to study in this town.”
